Gona be fun, hope everything works out and there is no problems with the motor. Tested everything today, oil pressure, flushed the engine block, just waiting for exh gasket and then fit and start.
GT4088 would be nice, but i think the T66 will flow more than enough for now.

Yes Shane's RB25 is really good, but i am not after the biggest power no's, but more the way (ease) it makes power, thats why i went with the biggest cappacity i could. My engine is 3033cc, so throttle responce should be good.

The RB30DET is ALIVE
After first startup on friday, it sounded very unhappy, running on 4 cyl's only. After a bit more investigation we found 0 compression on cyl 4 and 6. Stripped cams out and there was good compression on all 6 cyl's. The problem seemed to be in the hydraulic lifters. After stripping and checking all of them it seems like the problem is sorted. The RB hydr lifters are supposed to bleed the air out in about 10min of idling, they are still a bit noisy, hope it sorts itself out
.
Still running on RB25 map, wich is too lean, will have to remap on 0.5bar to run in.
